sands of time
hands of time
hands on a clock face
hands on your face
gentle touch
perhaps an emotional crutch
each second
each moment
each grain of sand
count the stars in the universe
recount all those fine grains of sand
yours and mine
moments in time
magical time
bouncing us around
mystical time
stretching heaven down to the ground
alpha and omega
sublime found
dreams of sound
seamless eons
all those meaningful millennia
so many rosebush years
hordes of timely fears
happy rhymes surrounded by sordid tears
morbid time's intentional career
every etched grain of sand
sketchy seconds as they tick away
all those wretched moments we see
all those fetching moments we wish would stay
mythical time
time for work
time to play
radiance via rays from the timely sun
displayed across a frigid universe of sorts
with gadget time immersed
submerged into the thick of things
counting diverse badger days
those terse moments we dare
sharing those crucial times
we need to bear down and care
wond'ring if love is really there
wond'ring if time is rightly versed
wond'ring if love is slightly cursed
like pyramids rehearsing in the desert sand
those arrested Pharoahs
noble fletching on significant arrows
buried by the sands of time
relentless sphinx on some oppressive quest
refusing to pause between each restive rhyme
unrepentant for all that's gone before
invention mixed within some timely core
all those finely textured grains of sand
a mixture of moments crossing the river Styx
uncertain hours remain at hand
washed and tossed by timely kissing tides
measuring moon times on this global ride
God blesses each watchful hand
sweeping away each fitful night
illuminating ev'ry randy day
such a standard timeless sight
those spartan hands of time
gripping us in mid-flight
tripping us up on wishful summer days
yet here we are
standing back to back alas
summoned to where we must stay
remanded back to where we always are
back to that familiar far-off land
shadowed by winter's inferior light
crusty Winken, Blinken and Nod
such a trusted sleepy band
timeless cousins occupying a remote land
detailing endless rosebud hours
starlight on another timely winter night
